It was a great place, very clean, really peaceful and relaxing. It’s completely private, with a small beautiful stream running past the bedroom window. I do like to support local businesses, the village shop is a little bit pricey. We will definitely go back.

My wife and I couldn't fault the overall experience of The Old Meeting Hall.
My wife and I couldn't fault the overall experience of The Old Meeting Hall. Beautifully done out with new kitchen appliances and shower room. There is a comfy bed and brilliant hot tub. The place is very clean and ideally placed for visiting the New Forest area, along with Beaulieu motor museum, Portsmouth and Winchester. We will definitely go back if we're visiting the area again. Many thanks to Gill for everything she did for us.

A lovely holiday cottage that has all the things you need for a week away plus lots of added extras! The hot tub and patio where lovely to relax in and spot wildlife. There is a pretty stream that runs outside the bedroom window. The village has a lovely pub for food and a shop, they both have Gluten Free which was amazing! There is so much to explore all within easy distance, we had a relaxing and enjoyable holiday would definitely recommend.
